Yes. My sister and her fiancee both do quite often. He works at an insurance company, and she makes the dean list every semester. It is my first year at college after graduating early, and I too am doing fine.

I have a job with one of the largest companies in the US, make very good $$$$. I did not smoke pot for about 15 years or so while in the military. Earlier this year, I started smoking pot and drinking less. Drinking beer was making me fat, and I hate the hangovers.

I don't have that with weed. No hangovers, and the wife is happier, although she doesn't know I've been smoking pot in the basement in the evenings to relax.

I think it all depends on when in your life you do it. You still have to be responsible with it though.

How did this get unlocked? I'm glad it did, but I didn't think the mods ever unlocked stuff.

If you smoke pot, you're supporting the terrorists.

You're out of the military now? No reserve duty, no IRR, no nothing? Did you retire, bail out or fail to promote?

Oh I hope you are joking. Even my texas government teacher was saying how that was stupid, because they could legalize it, and fix that problem. Someone I know thought of starting to grow, and he said if it was ever discovered, he would just claim that he just wasn't going to help terrorism.

Hmmm maybe the Nevada prop and the unlocking of this thread are but two small signs that things are changing in regards to perceptions of cannabis.
Weed, the big dirty little secret. The number of smokers DWARFS the number of admitted smokers. :)

According to a recent study here in the EU the largest group of pot smokers are young, succesful, stressed managers.
So I guess they must all be dropouts living on the state?
